That's truly a shame. I noticed that you stated "Most of the sodas". For what we guests pay to stay at these resorts, I would think that Couples would be able to keep liter bottles of this available behind the bars.

Ahhh, but Randymon, can it be available in cans or bottles? Last summer at CN they did not have Ting on the bar and had to open a bottle for me every time I went for a drink.......just saying. A girl can dream can't she.

I'm not diabetic, but I'm very insulin resistant (and would become diabetic if I continued consuming tons of sugar). I too would love to see more diet drinks at Couples.

I've been low carb for 11 years now and I've learned all the tricks. I just went on a cruise a few weeks ago. What I do is I bring 3 or 4 of those Mio water flavors. I order liquor (vodka, tequila, etc) with club soda an I just squirt some of the water flavors in it. It's yummy and adds no sugar/calories. I've also brought along some of the powered diet drink single serving packets for additional flavor options.

I've never done it with frozen drinks, but if they have the traditional machine there, it should be possible, if you just ask the bartender. Just hand them the bottle/packet and ask them to squirt some in there before they mix the frozen drink. (I will be doing this when I'm at CSA in May.)

If you want it to lose weight then you are better off using real Ting. If Diet Ting has artificial sugar (not sure because I've looked for ingredients and can't seem to find them) then it's doing the opposite of making you lose weight. Using this fake sugar overwhelms your liver with toxins. Your liver will NOT be able to process fat if it is too overwhelmed with toxins such as this. If the liver can't do its job then you gain weight.
And lack of weight loss is just one of the many hazards with consuming this chemical non-food.

My vote is no Diet Ting. For the health of everyone get rid of all artificial sweeteners all together. Use
Stevia if you are diabetic.

As someone who drinks Zevia, I agree that Stevia is a much better option. However, it's just not practical to ask the resort to stock soda that costs 4 times what regular diet soda costs. With that said, I only recently starting drinking Zevia (about a year ago), and lost 90 lbs in 7 months back in 2001-2002 while drinking 3-4 diet cokes a day, so your statement is not accurate about weight loss.

This is a really great idea. Do they offer club soda (sugar free)? I am strict low carb, I have been for a few years. I don't eat any processed foods and I don't eat fruits that are high in sugar (no bananas, etc). I was a little worried about the sugar content in the drinks. I mean hey, it's vacation - I will indulge in a few high calorie drinks. But if I can keep the majority lower in sugar, that would be fantastic.

Can we bring our own drinks, do you know? Like if I wanted to bring a few vitamin water zeros with me and stick them in the fridge, is that possible?
